Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2924531A1] To offer an environmentally friendly thermal energy source that is suitable for the transport sector, the invention provides an energy generating device (10) for generating thermal energy by an exothermic reaction in the form of a metal-grating-supported hydrogen process, preferably an LENR, comprising: a reaction vessel (14) with a reaction chamber (16) containing reaction material (45) for carrying out the exothermic reaction, a field generating device (18) for generating a field in the reaction chamber (16) for activating and/or maintaining the exothermic reaction, a heat transmission device (20) for transmitting heat into the and/or out of the reaction chamber (16), and a controller (26), which is designed for controlling or regulating the field generating device (18) in dependence on the temperature in the reaction chamber to stabilize the exothermic reaction, wherein the controller (26) is connected to a thermoelectric generator, for the conversion of heat from the reaction chamber into electrical energy as its sole energy supply, in such a way that sufficient energy for generating the field is only available when the temperature lies above a critical range, for example 500 K.
